Everyone is going to love this one...a must read!

http://www.dpmclimbing.com/articles/vie ... e-everyone

There are some great quotes in this article...one of my favorites:
"I just kind of go out and climb. Awareness and responsibility for my own personal safety is the last thing on my mind at the crag. I'm there to have a good time!"

Enjoy :)

Soon it will be crowded with MeetUp groups and concession stands :) Nice to see climbing become so mainstream.

Is the April 1st publishing date not a big enough hint?

Sometimes, sadly, The Onion is more accurate then the actual news....

I all seriousness, accidents would be minimized by palcing auto-belays and permanent boulder pads at the crags. Then climbing would be open to everyone and the sport would become really huge - like it should be. Everyone should climb - it's the American way after all.
